Ministry of Culture, Information and Tourism: Sky News Arabia Banned from Operating in Sudan

Khartoum: The Ministry of Culture, Information and Tourism has announced that Sky News Arabia is prohibited from operating in Sudan, as the news outlet lacks the necessary permits and accreditation to conduct media activities within the country.
